1875-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).Lustrous frosty surfaces are overall sharply struck with wonderfully original rose-gold patina. The San Francisco Mint turned out 1,230,000 double eagles in 1875 for a total face value of $24,600,000. Some of the mintage was sent overseas and later many lower range Mint State examples of the date were returned to the United States. Perhaps 1,000 to 1,500 Uncirculated examples exist, premium quality coins in MS-61 such as this eagerly sought for both Mint State type and date purposes.From the Fairmont Collection.
